  I had such a wonderful time at African Lion Safari! 🦁 The safari drive was amazing seeing lions, giraffes, and rhinos up close felt like a real adventure. The bird experience was one of my favorites, the birds were so colorful and even sang songs, which made it feel so lively and magical. The boat and train rides were fun too, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Everything was clean, well-organized, and perfect for a family day out. Highly recommend visiting!

  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This place is an amazing family experience! I recommend reading the full review so you know how to plan your visit and enjoy everything it has to offer. 👉 Tickets & Timing Book your tickets online in advance – prices vary depending on the month. I strongly suggest arriving at least 5 hours before closing; otherwise, you may miss out on a lot. 👉 Jungle Safari You can choose between the bus safari or driving your own vehicle. I highly recommend using your personal vehicle for a clearer, more flexible experience since you can spend as much time as you want watching wildlife. Going slowly, the safari takes about 1–2 hours. 👉 What to Do After Safari Once you finish the safari, park your car and head straight for the boating experience (included in the ticket). After that, ride the train around 2–3 pm and make sure to catch all the shows – they’re absolutely worth it! 👉 Shows There are 3 different shows: • Parrot Show • Birds Show • Reptile Show The Bird Show was the highlight – an unforgettable experience for both kids and adults. 👉 Other Attractions • Don’t miss the elephants – try to visit them in between shows or towards the end. • There’s a small splash area for kids, so pack extra clothes if they want to cool off. • Lots of food options available on-site, so you won’t have to worry about meals. ⏰ Important Tip: Shows, trains, and boats usually close by 5:00–6:30 pm, so plan your day accordingly. 📸 Make sure to check the pictures and videos to get a better idea of what’s waiting for you – it truly helps in planning. ✅ Overall, this place is totally worth the visit. With a little planning, you and your family can have an incredible full-day adventure filled with wildlife, fun, and memories!

  We took 2 toddlers and a baby and had a great time. The oldest loved playing on the jungle gym set and the younger toddler loved playing in the younger section while we waited for the bus. They had a blast on the bus and loved seeing and being close to all the animals. We rode the train, watched some shows and looked at the elephants. Spent around 4 hours there but if the splash park was open it definitely would've been an all day event. Planning on going again when that's open

  We had such a wonderful time at African Lion Safari! All the staff were incredibly friendly, polite, and welcoming — you can really feel their passion for what they do. The entire place was very clean and well organized, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. It’s an amazing place to visit, especially if you have kids — they’ll absolutely love seeing the animals up close and joining the fun activities. If friends or family come to visit Toronto, this is definitely one of the places I’d recommend! 🦁🐘

  I went with my friends to the park in the weekend and we had a great time and so much fun. We rode the bus that goes for the tour and during this time we were able to enjoy watching the animals and the different species from Africa, Australia and other homelands. Walking in Kenya gate also was amazing especially around the cages of the eagles. I am in love with bald eagle and I spent around 20 minutes staring to it. Inside the place also, you will find different shops and cafeterias for snakes, souvenirs and other stuff. Overall it was a great trip and the place is highly recommended
